Edited on Wed Sep-03-03 01:09 PM by Love Bug
I get emails for our website email box and we've been getting lots of those damn sobig virus-infected emails. I just delete them. I noticed I just got one from "foxnewsonline@foxnewsonline.com" I wonder if anyone there was a big enough doorknob to actually open that sobig attachment?

2. Or a 3rd party has you AND foxnewsonline in their addresses... |
|
or in a message in your Outlook boxes.
I'm not completely familiar with SoBig, but doesn't it spoof return e-mail addresses from those it finds in someone's Outlook?

3. We don't use Outlook here (thank ghod!) |
|
but yeah, I think it reads your address list in Outlook and send emails to everyone on it. I just like to think some moran there would be dumb enough to open the attachment! :dunce:

4. It does spoof email addresses |
|
I don't use outlook, but I have two hotmail addresses. They were both in someone's outlook address book, and one of mine was spoofed as the sender. It's creepy to get a virus that looks like you sent it to yourself.
I do think there are plenty of people at Faux dumb enough to open a virus email though!
